James PATTERSON 11. Over the next few weeks, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghis- laine Maxwell trained me to do what they wanted, including sexual activities. The training was in New York and Florida, at Epstein’s mansion. It was basically every day and it was like going to school. I also had to have sex with Epstein many times. 12. I was trained to be “everything a man wanted me to be.” It wasn’t just sexual training—they wanted me to be able to cater to all the needs of the men they were going to send me to. They said that they loved that I was very compli- ant and knew how to keep my mouth shut about what they expected me to do. 13. Epstein and Maxwell also told me that they wanted me to produce information for them in addition to perform- ing sex on the men. They told me to pay attention to the details about what the men wanted, so I could report back to them. 14. While I had juvenile hopes of bettering my life, from very early on I was also afraid of Epstein. Epstein told me he was a billionaire. I told my mother that I was working for this rich guy, and she said “go, go far away.” Epstein had promised me a lot, and I knew if I left I would be in big trou- ble. I was witness to a lot of illegal and bad behavior by Epstein and his friends. If I left Epstein, he knew all kinds of powerful people. He could have had me killed or abducted, and I knew he was capable of that if I did not obey him. He let me know that he knew many people in high places. Speak- ing about himself, he said “I can get away” with things. Even as a teenager, I understood what this meant and it scared me, as I believe he intended. 136 Fittt 15.
